Show HN: Forgiven – A Vim/Spacemacs terminal editor with native Copilot agent

Built with ratatui + crossterm on top of a full async tokio event loop. Modal editing (Normal/Insert/Visual) with Spacemacs-style SPC leader keys, LSP support via rust-analyzer, syntax highlighting through syntect, and a streaming

Copilot agent panel that can read and edit files in your project.

The agent is sandboxed to your project root and all network calls go exclusively to GitHub's Copilot endpoints — no telemetry, no analytics. CI runs cargo-audit, cargo-deny, and GitHub code scanning on every push. Full network call inventory is in SECURITY.md.

Largely AI-assisted build (Claude). Curious whether others have shipped production tools this way and what the maintenance story looks like longer term.

MIT. Builds with a single `cargo build --release`.
